Laravel Snappy - footer not inheriting styles - laravel

I am using the following library to generate PDFs from my views.
Now I am trying to do a custom footer so I created a footer view with the following
<!DOCTYPE html>
<footer class="footer">
<div class="container">
<hr>
<address>
//Some Address
</address>
</div>
</footer>
As per the docs I set the DOCTYPE. Now my main view is where I load the css files etc. In my Controller I do the following
$footer = \View::make('projects.clients.footer')->render();
$pdf = \PDF::loadView('projects.clients.template', compact('project'))->setOption('footer-html', $footer);
return $pdf->download('test.pdf');
So as far as I can tell I am doing everything correctly. Now my PDF displays the footer, but it has none of my own styling applied to it. If I try to load some CSS files within the footer template, the footer does not display.
How can I make sure the footer has the appropiate styles applied to it?
Thanks

try to load your css like that:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ public_path('bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css')}}">

Laravel: How to include external links in selected views

i have included all the css and js external links under <header> tag of my index view.
Now there are some external links which i want to load on selected views only,
i can add links separately on that view but that link will go out of <head> tag.
how can i load selected links on selected views only from <header> tag of index view.
i tried
<head>
...other links
#if(View::exists('ispblade.calendar'))
#include('ispblade.calendar_links')
#endif
</head>
but it's loading selected link on all views.
You need to use stacks for that.
In Layout:
<head>
<!-- Head Contents -->
#stack('scripts')
</head>
In your view:
#push('scripts')
<script src="/example.js"></script>
#endpush
https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/blade#stacks

why is blade making a head tag?

I'm using a Laravel app with an external public directory, e.g. root/Laravel, and root/html/public.
I need this app to load from a require on an php file that already has another framework(root/html/this-section.php), hence that other fw has its own head, and body tag. This app will load between the header and footer of that index.
In my blade layout.app file, i have
#section('stylesheets')
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/this-section/css/vendors.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/this-section/css/app.css">
#show
<div id="main">
#include('layouts.sidebar')
#include('layouts.header')
<section>
#yield('content')
</section>
</div>
The issue I'm having is if no my app layout, when I delete the head and body tags during testing, which is what i need, the blade system, or what i dont know, is still creating an empty head tag set, <head></head>, then when i enable the stylesheets section, it ends up in that <head> tag.
Expected: The head tag should not be there. I don't want a head tag. What in laravel can i adjust to remove this auto creation of head (and body)?
It sounds like your using tags that belong in the <head> section is causing this. While your source may be pristine:
browsers will add in the missing-but-required tags as appropriate, resulting in you seeing them in the browser's web inspector:

Laravel 5 proper way to require CSS file from view

I've got specific Form component, which is declared as
Form::component('fcRadio', 'components.form.fcradio', ['name', 'options', 'selected' => null]);
and used as
{{ Form::fcRadio('name', $options }}
What I want is somehow attach custom CSS file, so if the page fires this component at least once, the desired CSS file is included to the <head> of my document.
For example, in Joomla it was like
$this->document->addStylesheet('my_awesome_style.css');
Is there any way to achieve the same in Laravel?
UPD:
I've extended the answers below a bit to let it add multiple styles from multiple templates. Finally, it looks like this:
#section('styles')
#parent
{{HTML::style('css/fcradio.css')}}
#stop
It works fine, but if I use the component twice per page, style is also adds twice. How can I allow multiple but unique entries?
So this is typically how I deal with it:
In your folder: resources/views I create a folder called layout. This folder handles the templates for all my pages.
Then I create a file called default.blade.php. In it I put the bulk of the HTML code. Here's an example of how default.blade.php could look (slimmed down, obviously)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="ie=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title>
#yield('title')
</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('css/main.css') }}">
<!-- Additional per-page css -->
#yield('css')
</head>
<body>
#yield('content')
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/script.js"></script>
<script src="{{ asset('js/bootstrap.min.js') }}"></script>
<!-- Include per-page JS -->
#yield('js')
</body>
</html>
Right, so essentially what we have so far is the #yield() and asset() helpers.
#yield() is special blade syntax that Laravel uses to say, "Okay. Any time a blade view that is inheriting THIS master template calls the section named in this #yield() I will display that content right here.
asset() is a nifty little helper that basically appends your URL structure onto the string you pass it. So if your url is http://MyGreatSite.com and you use asset('js/script.js') it will spit out a fully qualified URL that will work anywhere on the site (http://MyGreatSite.com/js/script.js). asset() is great because you can use it in blade templates that will get sent out as an email and all of the files will work in an email inbox because they are absolute links.
Right. So now we have this master template and we need to use it. So what I do is create another view in the resources/views directory. Lets say we're doing a contact page. I would make contact.blade.php. Now I want to inherit that master template we created. So we do that like so:
#extends('layout.default)
#section('css')
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('css/contact.css') }}">
#stop
#section('title')
Contact Us
#stop
#section('content')
<h1>Contact us</h1>
<p>
Contact us via email: contact#mygreatsite.com
</p>
#stop
#section('js')
<script src="{{ asset('js/contact-form.js') }}"></script>
#stop
Okay, so, first things first. At the very top we tell this blade file that we want to use the template we just made. We use the blade helper #extends() and pass it the path to our view relative to the views directory separated by periods.
Next, we want to create the sections that correspond to the template. We do that by opening the section with #section() and passing the name of the section we want to push this block of content to. We write our content and then we close the section by using #stop. Pretty simple. For images, css, or js, we simply use the asset() helper again.
I know it's a little long-winded, but hopefully that helps and explains the process a little better.
tl;dr: Use #yield(), #section(), and asset().
So I think I understand what you are saying.
In your blade layout file create a section inside the head:
<head>
#yield('componentcss')
</head>
And in the component do:
#section('componentcss')
{{HTML::style('css/fcradio.css')}}
#stop
You could also just include the css but I wouldn't advise this:
#section('componentcss')
<style>
.exampleclass {text-align:center;}
</style>
#stop
Hopefully I have understood you correctly.
I've finally found a bit tricky but working solution:
#hasSection('fcRadioStyle')
#else
#section('fcRadioStyle')
{{Html::style('css/components/fcradio.css')}}
#stop
#section('styles')
#yield('fcRadioStyle')
#append
#endif
This makes by Form::fcRadio append this style only once

Laravel 5.2 using #yield and #section

I have 2 parts in my main layout: #yield('styles') #yield('scripts')
In the other template files which extended the main layout,
I use #section('styles') and #section('scripts')
When I am loading partial views, all the styles in the 'styles' sections are loading well. But, about the scripts, only the first partial view's scripts are loading and for the others, it ignores them.
Any Idea or experience before?
have you looked at #stack?
#stack('css') and #stack('scripts') instead of #yeild
you can then do
#push('scripts')
<script> /js/jquery.js</script>
#endpush
That way you can push different scripts or css to the header or footer depending on your template page

here this

Create header.php and place in /application/views
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
......
do you header stuffs here
Create footer.php and place in /application/views
<div class="footer">
....
footer stuff here
</div>
</body>
<html>
Now in your every view file you can include header and footer files
<?php $this->load->view('header'); ?>
<div id="content">
... rest of the dynamic stuffs
</div>
<?php $this->load->view('footer'); ?>
The ci has it's own template, you can use that or write your own output method in the base controller. And I think the bootstrap is a library of CSS and JS. So if you want to use style, you can include bootstrap, but if you want to format the output you should read the ci_user_guide.
